Dear Bonnie, I was so sorry to learn of Bill’s passing. What a great guy he was. I will never forget his wit and humor when he was at the grocery store and all of the times we have visited elsewhere. You have lost a wonderful pal. I hope you will find peace in knowing that he isn’t suffering any more. Know that you are in my thoughts. You and your family have my most sincere sympathy.
